Inaugural Zim Achivers Aussie nominees announced

NOMINEES for the Inaugural Zimbabwe Achievers Australia Edition have been announced and the gala dinner where the winners will be honoured is scheduled for Saturday 28th October 2017.

Like the other editions in UK, South Africa and USA, the Australian edition has produced and unearthed extraordinary Zimbabweans excelling in that country.

Organisers of the high profile event announced over 80 nominees across a 20-category list at a press conference held on Facebook live.

ZAA Australia Secretary Jaison Midzi said, “We have been inundated with some outstanding nominations for the inaugural event, and it highlighted the exceptional work that Zimbabweans are doing….”

He praised the team for doing a remarkable job whittling down the shortlist. The team comprised of individuals with experience and knowledge in various sectors from business to community engagement and entertainment. It included Method Mukundu and Trevor Manyame, David Shepherd Mutusva and the local committee.

ZAA Founder Conrad Mwanza said, “The community spirit that has been built and the calibre of individuals and organisations that we have recognised over the years in different countries really shows how talented, determined and studious Zimbabweans are in building something we can all be proud of.”

Dr Lance Mambondiani, Steward Bank CEO, one of the sponsors of ZAA Australia added, “Any nation that does not honour its heroes will not endure. Our association with the Zimbabwe Achievers is our token of support to the rewards of core values of hard work, resilience, dedication and triumph over adversity; values without which no nation can endure.”

He said ZAA was a noble cause and applauded the organisers for the initiative urging the community to rally behind the cause.

Voting will commence on Tuesday 12th September and will run until the 10th of October 2017. Thereafter, votes will be verified by ZAAs Panel of professionals who will arduously assess shortlisted candidates and match up their achievements with the set criteria before emerging with this year’s list of winners.

The ZAA Australia awards ceremony will be held on Saturday 28th October 2017 at the prestigious Hilton hotel, Adelaide, overlooking Victoria Square.

Hilton Adelaide is set in the heart of the city’s entertainment, shopping and dining precincts, the Central Market, Chinatown and Gouger Street.
